in! Mature gives us grandeur of noun
tains, glens and oceans. and thousands
of means of enjoyment. We can de-
sire no better when In perfect health
but how often do the majority OF peo-

discouraged and worn out with dis
ease, when there is no occasion for this
feeling. as every sufferer can easily OBJ

The attempt that has been made to
detach town 26 n. of Range 4 w.
from Grayling and attach the same to
Beaver Creek failed, as It ought to do,
at the special session of the Board OF
Supervisors this week, but It's failure
at this time was not due to the causp
which should have controlled IL, but
because of legal error in the prelimi-
nary work
We are at loss to know what rea-
son any citizen of Grayling could pos
sibly have for signing petition for
such action, and at least two who did
sign 1t claim that they did so under a
misapprehension of the facts, bcliev.
ing that they were simply signing a
petition for the opening of highway.
The change could not be of any HON
est benefit to anyone and would ma
terially compIicate the business of
this township.
We understand another attempt Is
to be made in the same way but the
action has already cost the county
about a hdndred dollars and we hope
there win be no further foolishness of
the kind, or cause to moke cur citizens

A NOVEL IDEA.

Were it within the province of the
public to summon the Minister of the
Interior to show cause why certain
streets of this city should be IN the
impossible condition they are to-
day, solely in consequence of neces-
sary labor not having been bestowed
upon them, ample appropriation
having been made therefor, now
would be fitting time 10 issue such
a summons. Such a proceeding
would probably be considered
otiicious, intermeddling with what
does not concern the public, and al
together superfuous. If resident
in this country refuses to pay his
road tax or any other tax, he is
summoned, or arrested, and mulcted
in the amount claimed, with 10 per
cent and costs added thereto, and
failing payment, an execution is at
once put into practical operation.
Why should not the law work both
ways? A citizen having paid his
road taxes, has an equal right to
see the money expended where re-
quired, and failing which, he ought
to have perfect right to proceed
against the authorities. Were an
example needed Of such place as
we refer to, that is, an impossible
place for pedestrians, it is not neces-
sary 10 20 far from Aliiolani Hale.
Just take that small piece of Alakea
street betwixt Merchant and Queen.
1t is quagmire of the worst kind,
and the residents around there can
not leave their houses without get
ting up to the knees in mud and
water. Imperfect grading has made
that spot what it is. In order
to effect what was designed, drain
was laid from the upper side of
Queen street to the sea, but that
being choked and consequently
useless, the surrounding neighbOr-

ORIGIN OF GEOMETRY.

The origin of geometry is ascribed
to the Egyptians, who, having their
landmarks annually washed away by
inundations, in efforts to devise
plan for readily restoring them dis
covered the principles of geometry.
From them Thales of Miletus, one
of the "seven wise men" of Greece,
is said to have learned the clements
of the science. He introduced it
into Greece about 600 b. c. Pytha-
goras, half century later, having
also learned the science of the
Egyptians, enriched it by the propo-
sition which still bears his name,
to wit, that the square described on
the hypothenuse of a right-angled
triangle is equal to the sum of the
squares on the other two sides.
Plato, about 800 b. c., invented the
study of comic sections, and through
these and the use of the analytic
method of demonstration he made
great advances in the science. The
elements of geometry were complied
by Euclid, 2S0 b. G. This author
introduced device of reasoning
that has been found very useful
where neither direct proof (the Gym
thetic method) or the analytic
method could be readily used; it
consists in proving the truth of q
proposition by assuming it contrary
as truth and showing that this i'm
plies logical absurdity. Apollonius
was a geometer who lived about 230
b. c., and whose work in the science
has not been surpassed by the most
brilliant achievements of others
since. Archimedes, a contemporary
of Apollonius, first inscribed poly
gons in circles. Hipparchus, in the
Second century before Christ, and
Ptolemy, in the Second century after
Christ, applied mathematics to
astronomy. From about $50 A. ID.
to 1000 A. d., during the darkness
of the Middle Ages, the science made

EXPORTS AND IMP0RTsFOR | ss6.

The annual report of the Collec-
tor-General of Customs, for the
year ending December 81, 1886,
just published, shows the total
value of exports and imports of
merchandise during the year to
have been SIS, 1886, ,O25, as against
SIP, ,S99,S6 for 1885, an increase
of 2,435, 1862. The total exports
amounted to S1O,4 ,2S4, being an
increase of 81 ,3S7,9G7 from the
previous year. The total imports
amounted to SI,S77,73S, being an
increase f'om 1885 of $1,047, 1874.
The excess of the value of exports
over imports is S5,579,5 ,547, accord
ing to our subtraction, which is
slightly different from that of the
report. These figures certainly
make a very favorable showing for
Hawaii. An increase in our favor
has taken place all along the line.

no advance and was little studied.
Vieta, who lived from 1910 to 1908,
revived the ancient geometry. The
demonstrations of Kepler, Roberval
and Pascal in the Seventeenth GEN.
tury greatly stimulated geometrical
investigation. But to Descartes,
who published volume of geometri-
cal problems in 1857, the world owes
chiefly the invention of analytic
modern geometry. Newton dis
covered the differential calculus in
1865. In 1899 the first descriptive
geometry was published in Paris by
Prof. Monge.
